Hey everyone. Just want to let anyone that might be interested know that there is a discussion going on at news.groups concerning the formation of a new newsgroup dedicated to whole-grain foods, actually I started the discussion myself. I know that there are some very knowledgeable bakers here in the subject of whole grain breads, rye,whole wheat, spelt, etc, as in alt.bread.recipesand rec.food.sourdough, but the exclusively whole-grain subject is usually a fringe topic at best. I would certainly not be the one to find reliable information on whole grain baking or health benefits, total newbie on the subject but enthusiasm overflowing after my first attempt.
There are also groups in Yahoo (Jonathan Kendall's excellent group) MSN and Google, along with websites dedicated to whole grain foods, but I would love to see the subject brought to the avenue of newsgroups format. Big8 newsgroup moderators (and Brian Mailman) have suggested searching out other enthusiasts and getting them to post at news.groups in my whole brain baking newsgroup thread :
